The synthesis of N-substituted indenoisoquinolines was performed by applying a two-step condensationbetween 2-carboxybenzaldehyde and phthalide, followed by treatment with various primary amines.N-allylindenoisoquinoline was subsequently selected as a substrate for hydroxybromination, providing6-(3-bromo-2-hydroxy)indenoisoquinoline as a key intermediate for derivatization in the lactam sidechain. In this way, a series of 6-(2-hydroxypropyl)indenoisoquinolines bearing various functional groupsat the 30-position were prepared, which can be considered as novel indenoisoquinoline-propan-2-olhybrid molecules. Subsequent cytotoxic evaluation of 28 indenoisoquinolines against two human cancercell lines (Hep-G2 and KB) demonstrated a moderate to high antiproliferative activity displayed by 11indenoisoquinolines thus synthesized. In particular, the introduction of the 2-hydroxypropyl side chainwas shown to be beneficial for the overall cytotoxic activity, pointing to the potential relevance of thesenovel indenoisoquinoline-propan-2-ol hybrids.
